Abstract

Ternary titanium-aluminides with compositions of Ti51Al47Fe2, Ti51A147Cr2 and Ti51Al47Mn2 were investigated with respect to the correlation of their solidification front velocity v and bulk undercooling ΔT. The observation of the solidification front during the recalescence event has been realized using a high speed video system capable of recording up to 12,000 pictures per second. The temperature measurement was carried out by pyrometry, avoiding contact with the sample. The comparison of the experimental data with the LKT-theory (Lipton, Kurz, Trivedi; [1]) refers to a primary (hcp) β-Ti solidification for undercoolings below ΔT≈ 130 K and primary (bcc) α-Ti solidification for ΔT≥ 130 K. For undercoolings ≥ 150 K the theory differs greatly from the experimental results.

The maximum undercoolings achieved were 268 K (Ti51Al47Fe2), 285 K (Ti51Al47Cr2) and 280 K (Ti51Al47Mn2), corresponding to a solidification front velocity v ≈ 9-10 m/s for all alloys.
